Punch marked coins may be the earliest example of metallic as well as imported coins that circulated in Sri Lanka. They are called the Punch marked coins due to the symbols incised on them. Punch marked coins were minted in northern India in circa 600 BCE. And later in other parts of India as well. These Coins reached Sri Lanka around 3rd Century BCE and after.
